Lots of people are unaware that Bio diesel even exists. This article is
intended to shed a little light on Bio diesel and what a wonderful, non
toxic, renewable fuel it is.
Natural materials are used to make Bio diesel fuel instead of the fossil
fuels used to make conventional diesel. Bio diesel fuel is most often
made from plant oils, then used in a normal diesel vehicle or machinery.
Bio diesel fuel can be used on its own, or mixed with conventional
diesel.
Here are some common facts about Biodiesel fuel:
* Bio diesel fuel produces no carbon dioxide
* Biodiesel fuel produces no carbon monoxide emissions
* Biodiesel fuel produces no benzene
* Bio diesel fuel produces no sulfur dioxide
* Bio diesel fuel produces no hydrocarbons
* Bio diesel fuel eliminates visible smoke
* Bio diesel fuel cleans and lubricates your engine
* Bio diesel fuel exhaust smells like popcorn.
Just what are the benefits of using biodiesel fuel?
1) Making your own biodiesel fuel reduces our dependence on fossil fuels.
2) Biodiesel fuel is cheap to make and the money stays in the country.
3) Biodiesel fuel is both renewable and non-toxic. It is even possible
to drink biodiesel, though not recommended, as it tastes terrible!
4) Bio diesel fuel is basically carbon-neutral. Bio diesel fuel reduces
the usual noxious emissions such as carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide
that we're used to from conventional vehicles.
5) Biodiesel fuel will also reduces engine wear by lubricating it. You
can also blend biodiesel with ordinary diesel, even as little 2% bio
diesel will make a difference. Bio diesel also flushes your fuel
injectors and lines.
6) By running a vehicle on bio diesel fuel you will produce a smoother
and quieter ride, and your car will have cleaner exhaust fumes.
So what are some of the down sides of using Biodiesel fuel?
1) If you want to run your vehicle on bio diesel fuel you will most likely have to make it yourself.
2) The fact that bio diesel fuel will clean your fuel injectors and
lines, means that you should expect your first few tanks to flush out
some dirt and grime. You may also have to replace your fuel lines if
your car is older than fifteen years.
3) Biodiesel fuel might not produce toxic emissions, but it does produce NOx which may contribute to smog.

Investing In Biofuel, Biodiesel, Green Oil and Alternative Energy
Biofuels - What are they and why should we invest in them?
We are using more fossil fuel oil than we are finding. Though experts disagree about the time scale, most agree that the rate at which we are consuming traditional oil is now greater than the rate at which new reserves are being found, we have already entered the depletion phase and are on a downhill slope of terminal decline. In short, crude oil is running out. We need to invest in a continuous environmentally alternative energy supply.
What are our alternatives?
Are alternative to crude oil are “green oils” that can be turned into biofuel or biodiesel. Thanks to the Gulf of Mexico fiasco, many people are totally reconsidering the use of fossil fuels for energy and are opting for a cleaner, less harmful alternative energy fuel like Jatropha or Millettia biofuels or biodiesel but what are they?
Jatropha, Millettia, biofuels and biodiesel – what are they?
Jatropha and Millettia are two examples of hardy plants that can grow in harsh arid conditions, needing very little water and care. Biofuel and or biodiesel from Jatropha or Millettia is formed by simply crushing the seeds of the plant and extracting the oil. The waste is biodegradable and can be used for farming and in some cases animal feed. The produce is a green oil biofuel/biodiesel, a sustainable alternative energy that helps the environment.
What makes them good alternative energy sources?
Biofuel and biodiesel are so much better for the planet and humanity for a variety of reasons:
Biofuel and biodiesel can be made in a matter of years as opposed to fossil fuels which take millions of years to build.
They are safer in production and extraction compared to fossil fuels which produce pollution and harmful emissions. In fact, both Millettia and Jatropha produce more oxygen and (obviously) biodegradable material, this can be recycled as fertilizer and medicinal purposes.
Jatropha or Millettia are not an edible crops (by humans) so we are not pushing the price of corn up to produce a biofuel. They can grow in very harsh conditions, this means they are not taking up arable farmland.
Unlike fossil fuels both plants have a good life span which means they produce seed pods every year (from about 3-4 years old) they are a renewable source of alternative energy which means that they can continually produce more alternative energy instead of running out like an oil field.
Both the Jatropha and the Millettia plant take about 3-4 years until they produce a significant amount of seeds to turn into "green oil". Once the plants are established however, it can live up to 20 years or more.
No machines are needed to take care of the plants or to harvest; just a small green oil extraction machine that can be hooked up to photovoltaic panels. A lot of the harvesting is manual labour which employs people, creating jobs. This means a much more environmentally friendly low carbon emission for production.
Green Oil is a renewable alternative source of energy, producing year after year.
Nitrogen rich fertiliser, medicines and rubber can be made from the waste produce once the green oil is extracted.
Why should we invest in this?
Apart from the fact that biofuels and biodiesels are all round winners, fossil fuel is set to go up in prices as the fossil fuel left on the planet is finite and it can only get more expensive as it gets harder to extract and harder to find. The extraction and transportation of crude oil can be hazardous and extremely harmful to the environment - all we have to do is look at the recent events in the Gulf of Mexico so we need to take a stand and start investing in this extremely important new emerging fuel supply.
It is only logical that we need to start investing in the future of the planet and the human race.

The Advantages Of Using Biodiesel Fuel
You might have heard a lot about biodiesel. Biodiesel is diesel that can
power up your car that is made from vegetable oils and other natural
sources. It does not come from the regular crude oil that usually has to
be imported from oil-producing countries.
Biodiesel can be considered a new technology, taking into account all the years consumers have had to settle for traditional diesel. Using biodiesel for your car has many advantages:
1. Biodiesel is not harmful to the environment. Unlike its counterpart, a car using biodiesel produces fewer emissions. If a vehicle uses traditional diesel, the vehicle emits black, stinky smoke. With biodiesel, the smoke becomes very clean indeed.
2. Biodiesel may not require an engine modification. Some cars can take advantage of biodiesel without the need to undergo engine alterations. Some mix 20% biodiesel with regular diesel. Doing so enables the car to benefit from the good points of biodiesel without the hassle.
3. Biodiesel is cheap. You can even make biodiesel in your backyard. If your engine can work with biodiesel fuel alone, then you really need not go to the gas station to buy fuel. You can just manufacture some for your own personal use.
4. Biodiesel can make the vehicle perform better. It is noted that biodiesel has a cetane number of over 100. Cetane number is used to measure the quality of the fuel’s ignition. If your fuel has a high cetane number, you can be sure that what you get is a very easy cold starting coupled with a low idle noise.
5. Biodiesel can make your car last longer. Because of the clarity and the purity of biodiesel, you can be sure it will not have too many impurities to harm your car. It is actually more lubrication. A car’s power output is unaffected by this type of diesel.
6. Biodiesel reduces the environmental effect of a waste product. Because biodiesel is made out of waste products itself, it does not contribute to nature’s garbage at all. Biodiesel can be made out of used cooking oils and lards. So instead of throwing these substances away, the ability to turn them into biodiesel becomes more than welcome.
7. Biodiesel is energy efficient. If the production of biodiesel is compared with the production of the regular type, producing the latter consumes more energy. Biodiesel does not need to be drilled, transported, or refined like petroleum diesel. Producing biodiesel is easier and is less time consuming.
8. Biodiesel is produced locally. A locally produced fuel will be more cost efficient. There is no need to pay tariffs or similar taxes to the countries from which oil and petroleum diesel are sourced. Every country has the ability to produce biodiesel.
Biodiesel is surely a viable fuel alternative. Moreover, it is also a sustainable fuel. Using biodiesel not only helps maintain our environment, it also helps in keeping the people around us healthy.
The production of biodiesel all over the world is now being looked upon favorably. In Europe, many biodiesel stations have been set up already. There is also a move to convert or make cars compatible with biodiesel fuel in the near future.
Biodiesel can surely change the way vehicles are manufactured and used. It is surely the best substitute right now, and everyone should consider ways to take advantage of the benefits of biodiesel.
